In addition to events at Lake Panorama, juniors have access to many golf activities in Iowa. To check tournament information at other courses please visit the Iowa PGA Section and Iowa Golf Association websites. The Iowa PGA section has the Pee Wee Tour and Junior Golf Tour available. The websites are: iowapga.com and iowagolf.org.
Every year we travel to the State Pee Wee in Grinnell and a few other Pee Wee tour sites. As our program gets bigger, we may need some help with transportation.
We are also coordinating events with our sister courses of our Reciprocal Agreement to take our junior league members to their facility at no charge. Those courses are Carroll Country Club, Indianola Country Club, Ames Country Club, Fort Dodge Country Club, Briarwood Club in Ankeny and Lake Creek Country Club. More details to follow.
